WATERMELON Although always referred to as a melon, the watermelons are actually berries. So are cucumbers, cantaloupes, squash and pumpkins. Scientifically called pepos, these fruits fall into a specific category of berry; one with a tough rind, multiple flat seeds and pulpy flesh. Pepos are also indehiscent, meaning the fruit does not split open to release the seeds when they are ripe. Watermelons were brought to the Americas by European colonists and the first watermelons date back 5000 years to South Africa. Over time, different types of watermelons developed with varying shapes, colors and flavor characteristics. Today there are over 1,200 varieties of watermelon that are grown in more than 96 countries.They are high in vitamin C and low in fat and sodium which makes them a healthy food choice.
